Epifanes Accelerator speeds the curing pro-cess of brush applied varnish and wood fin-ish gloss without affecting gloss, longevity, or flowing capabilities. Although it does not allow you to shorten the time between coats, it speeds the curing process so the danger of dust wrecking your finish is greatly reduced. For cold or humid conditons, or any condi-tions, indoor or out, where dust is present. A little accelerator goes a long way. Add 5 to 7% accelerator to your varnish or wood finish gloss. [One liter will treat 3 cases of varnish or wood finish gloss.]

Epifanes, the best marine finish money can buy, is favored by restor-ers and boat builders the world over for its mirror like finish, super fast build, and the longest life of any varnish on the market. Manufac-tured with tung oil, more ultraviolet filter than other varnishes, and urethane resins for superior exterior protection, it is simply the best fin-ish available for your wooden boat. It provides a tough high-gloss finish. Contains no extra thinners - you thin it yourself for greater control. Thin the first coat 50%, the second coat 25%, the third coat 15%, and additional coats anywhere from 0 to 7%. [If you used sealer, thin your first coat 25%.] Do not thin your last one or two coats. Apply 12 to 14 coats for base coats, then every year or two, add two coats to maintain your ultra-violet protection, as this protectant is used up by exposure to the sun. You need at least 12 coats to get good u.v. protection. If you try to get by with fewer coats, you may have lifting and flaking after one summer in the sun.
